First Period
The opening frame saw neither team break the deadlock, although it wasn’t for a lack of attempts on net.
The closest the Laval came to scoring was through Alex Belzile’s redirect off a Maxim Lamarche shot that struck iron. At the other end, Chris Mueller had his goal waived off for a high stick, while a power play for the Marlies led to a plethora of near misses and some good saves from Connor LaCouvee.
